The worst part about cleaning out my closet was how many items I found from fast-fashion brands that I wore only a couple times, if any. I even found several pieces with the tags still on.
By not running to my nearest Zara every time I had the slightest life crisis, I ended up saving more money to invest in pieces that have now become my go-to staples, including my favorite Parke jeans. Founder and designer Chelsea Kramer created Parke with a vision of sustainability and comfort with a trend-conscious spin.
I can confidently say these jeans are now my most-worn pair. Even if they're more expensive than the denim you find at your average fast-fashion store, you actually save more money in the long run because the jeans last longer.
While I have started shopping again, the habits I developed over those 30 days definitely made a difference. Mindful consumption doesn't have to be boring. In fact, a closet full of your favorite quality pieces presents more styling and saving opportunities than I could've ever imagined.
